Jim, 63, made the filthy confession during Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, adding that it was the stag-do of "someone famous".

"He ordered all these girls and it was my money he was spending," he said.

"He thought it was a hoot and they all turned up at this boutique hotel in Kensington. I got a call from the hotel saying, 'here are nine women downstairs waiting for you'.

"They were in fishnets and whips. It was a great deal of fun and it did take 12 and a half hours. Three more turned up when we were asleep."

In the aftermath of the divorce, the comedian cut his son out of his life.

"I was going through so much hurt after the split I actually chose not to see him, to punish Julie," Jim wrote in his autobiography Close To The Edge.

"'Bugger it,' I thought. 'Get rid of me and you lose your son's father.' This is something I do. I always cut my nose off to spite my face. 'I haven't got a child now,' I thought. 'I'll see him later'."

3. Alison Holloway and domestic violence claims

His marriage to TV presenter Alison Holloway in 1987 ended after two years amid claims of domestic violence.

In 2001, Holloway told the Sunday People that her parents were "afraid of him because they had seen how he had bloodied and bruised my body… He is a wife beater and abuser of women and people ought to know that."

In his 1993 autobiography, The Full Monty, Davidson wrote: "We’re like a couple of boxers. On the first occasion, I poked her in the eye by accident.

"I actually went for the mouth [...] The second time I gave her a shiner. I threw a bunch of keys which whacked her in the eye. Just for a giggle she kept blackening it up to make it look worse."

Joanne Urch later alleged she had an affair with Davidson while she was 16 and the 34 year old was still married to Miss Holloway.

She claimed she met the star while he was working in Torquay and would accompany Davidson and his friends, including women she already knew from the dance community, on the comedian’s boat, Dishy Doo.

"It wasn’t like I was picked up in a bar – he was a genuinely fun and friendly guy, it was a good crowd, and one lady was a dancing friend of mine anyway," she told the Daily Mail in 2013.

"We had fabulous days out in lovely weather. There was nothing seedy or untoward about any of it."

After Davidson's third divorce, he admitted he no longer had a relationship with his ex.

"I’m still friends with wives one, two and four but wife number three was the one who accused me of being a wife beater," he said in 2016.

4. Tracy Hilton and his affair with busty TV hostess

Jim had three of his five children with former Page Three girl Tracy Hilton, whom he married in 1990 and divorced in 2000.

She ended their ten-year marriage after the comic admitted cheating on her with busty TV hostess Debbie Corrigan.

The Mirror caught Davidson out after he spent the night with Debbie, 24, at Brighton's plush Grand Hotel.

It put the final nail in the coffin of his marriage to Tracy, who supported him through his battle with the booze.

Davidson, began the fling when he cast Debbie as a fairy in his X-rated panto, Sinderella.

He insisted: "I don't want people to look at me and Debs and think anything bad of her. My marriage was in terrible trouble and she just happened to be there. It's not right that Tracy and I should live with this unhappiness."
